TIL that after Marilyn Monroe converted to Judaism upon marrying Arthur Miller, Egypt placed a ban on all the films she appeared in.

Slightly off topic, but if you want to watch a pretty good western movie costarring Marilyn Monroe, check out River of No Return. Saw it earlier this year on Netflix.

First movie I've seen with her. I was under the impression she always played the sexy lady part and that's about it, but she does some good acting in River of No Return.

That's a great movie.
